    Step 2

    Pour the cream in to well-greased small baking tins (if you don't grease it well, the cakes will break when you remove them and the mousse will pour out)
    and cook in a well-heated oven for 5 to 7 minutes.

    Step 3

    Remove the cakes from the tins and serve hot.
    You can serve the cakes with some vanilla ice cream on the side.

    If the cakes stay in the oven for too long a time, the will have less mousse left inside them. So, when they appear baked on the outside, remove them from the oven and when you break them open there will be a mousse explosion.
